Form partially completed and submitted, but no confirmation

    Hi, my customer filled our club's Membership Registration Form and forgot to complete a required field (her address). When she attempted to submit form, it may have issued a warning that the field was incomplete, but she didn't understand what to do. So she closed out the page and went to fill out an all together new/blank form. Once she finished, she hit submit but it said she already filled out a form and would not submit the new form. No confirmation email went out in either case (which makes sense to me).

    Is there a way for her (or me) to get back to her original form she attempted to submit and just add the address and then submit properly.. I'm not sure where it went or how to access it?

    Hi @mashantum!

    Unfortunately there is no way to recover an incomplete submission unless you have Save Forms and Continue Later set up (Guide: How-to-Save-Forms-and-Continue-Later), the information is not saved anywhere until the respondent clicks the Submit button. However, I can see that you have the Unique Submission check set to Check cookies only.

    Could you please ask your respondent to clear their browser's cache and cookies, or simply use a different browser? That way they will be able to fill out and finally submit the form!

    If multiple submissions are not really an issue, I would suggest setting the Unique Submission to No Check altogether, like so:
